And yes, I am consistent in my position. The Cayman is a great car and I was all ready to buy a MY07 one, only to be bitterly disappointed by Porsche AG making zero response to all the reviews that said the Cayman was underpowered. Even so, I'm still willing to buy one, as soon as Porsche upgrades the performance (through more horsepower) relative to the current performance cars available on the market today.
If you already have a Porsche Cayman I hope you enjoy it. If you don't already have one, and there have only been a few thousand sold so there are billions of people who don't, I urge you to join in my boycott so we can all have a better Cayman, either for first time buyers or for current owners who want to upgrade to the another Cayman when their lease expires. The only thing Porsche AG cares about is sales figures.
Trying very hard not to make this sound like a flame or a rant..
@Wushuhsu: Are you going to race your (proposed) Cayman?? IF so I can understand the performance concern, but then it's a very flexible platform and there are plenty of things you can do to eek out more horses.
IF not, then why the worry about the percieved lack of HP?? How many stop light drag races do you get in?? I assure you that the Cayman S is a very fast car. Plenty fast enough to get the majority of drivers in trouble.
People worry too much about the low(er) HP or the lack of LSD. Personally it's still the fastest vehicle I have ever used on the road excluding my Ducati, but it isn't far off that!!
Methinks you're more worried about barstool drag races where numbers mean more than skill and a sublime package.
